Title: Improvements in message display
Inventor: BEARDOW PAUL ROWLAND
IPC: H04M1/7243
Filed: 2002-05-29
Abstract: A mobile radio handset (10, 24), capable of receiving short message service text messages (12), examines incoming text messages (12) to see if a recognised string of one or more characters is received and, in response thereto, retrieves and displays, on a display screen (14), a stored image (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) which is to be displayed whenever that string of characters is received. The image (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) can be shown alone or with the text (12) which triggered its display. The images (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) can be provided by the user of the handset (24), or derived from a server or central data base (80) in the mobile telephone network. The images (26, 28, 30, 32, 34) can include static images or animations. The static images can includes a photograph. As well as text messages (12), the Caller Location Identifier (CLI) of a caller can be used to evoke a display, chosen by the call recipient. The operation of the invention is compatible with handsets (10, 24) which can receive text messages (12) but which are not enabled for the invention.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'imagerie micro-ondes par formation de faisceaux dans un espace-temps. Cette imagerie micro-ondes est effectuée par transmission de signaux micro-ondes à partir de nombreux emplacements d'antennes vers un individu à examiner et par réception des signaux micro-ondes rétrodiffusés au niveau de nombreux emplacements d'antennes pour produire des signaux reçus des antennes. Les signaux reçus sont traités par un ordinateur afin de supprimer la composante de réflexion de l'interface cutanée du signal au niveau de chaque antenne pour produire des données de signal correctes. Les données de signal correctes sont fournies à un processus de formation de faisceaux qui décale dans le temps les signaux reçus afin d'aligner les renvois d'un diffuseur au niveau d'un emplacement candidat. Ensuite, les signaux alignés dans le temps passent à travers un banc de filtres dont les sorties sont ajoutées et enclenchées périodiquement, et dont la puissance est calculée pour produire le signal de sortie du formeur de faisceaux au niveau d'un emplacement candidat. Le formeur de faisceaux est alors balayé sur une pluralité d'emplacements différents dans l'individu au moyen d'un changement des décalages dans le temps, du poids des filtres et de l'enclenchement périodique du processus de formation de faisceaux. La puissance de sortie peut être affichée comme une fonction de l'emplacement du balayage, les régions de forte puissance de sortie correspondant à des diffuseurs de micro-ondes importants tels que des lésions malignes.

Abstract: A manually wound tape measure includes a housing with a mouth, with the flexible tape extending through the mouth. A resilient grip element is slidably mounted on the tape for movement relative thereto. The grip element includes an internal passage through which the tape extends and is resiliently deformable between an uncompressed state and a compressed state. The exterior of the grip element may be tapered. Manually powered retraction of the tape into the housing causes the grip element to be urged into the mouth portion of the housing such that the grip element is, by interaction with the housing, deformed against and compressively grips the tape. The tape measure may include a manually powered retraction mechanism having a drive ratio of greater than 1:1. The tape measure is manually changeable from a deployed configuration to a retracted configuration wherein the grip element deforms against and compressively grips the tape.

Title: Tagged microparticle compositions and methods
Inventor: DEHLINGER PETER
IPC: G01N30/88
Filed: 2002-11-08
Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for detecting multiple target analytes in a sample using microparticles having molecular tags attached by cleavable linkages. Generally, an assay mixture is formed comprising a sample and a reagent comprising multiple such microparticles under conditions that permit stable complexes to form between binding moieties on the surfaces of the microparticles and the analytes. In one aspect of the invention, the a second binding composition is added so that complexes form among the microparticle-bound binding moieties, the analytes, and second binding moieties of the second binding composition. Such second binding moieties have cleavage-inducing moieties attached that upon activation cause the cleavage of the cleavable linkages and the release of molecular tags. Released molecular tags are separated and the presence and/or amount of the target analytes are determined based on the analysis of the released and separated molecular tags.

Abstract: L'exactitude des données de configuration dans les routeurs d'un réseau est d'une importance cruciale pour les réseaux modernes pour assurer la sécurité desdits réseaux, l'efficacité de leur fonctionnement et pour se conformer à des exigences générales, par exemple la redondance. Comme les données de configuration sont généralement saisies et modifiées manuellement par des techniciens, il se produit nombreux cas d'erreur humaine. Un dispositif de validation de la configuration assure une capacité automatique d'assurer l'exactitude dans les routeurs d'un réseau. Dans un tel dispositif, la validation est exécutée en ayant recours aux conditions réglées dynamiquement, sur la base de l'utilisation du routeur et d'une caractéristique dudit routeur, par exemple son modèle. L'utilisation du routeur comprend les services que le routeur supporte, ainsi que sa position au sein du réseau; ces deux critères du routeur ont des exigences précises quant à la configuration. L'utilisation des routeurs peut être décelée en examinant la base de données d'un inventaire et/ou en analysant les données de configuration pertinentes. Lors du processus de validation, tout écart peut être enregistré.  la fin du processus, ces écarts peuvent être énumérés dans un rapport de problèmes de configuration pour être résolus ou être retransmis automatiquement aux routeurs du réseau afin de corriger les données de configuration.

Abstract: L'invention décrit une méthode et un système d'imagerie simultanée de plusieurs vues d'un embryon de plante. En premier lieu, la méthode fournit un appareil photo permettant de recevoir la première vue d'un embryon de plante (p. ex. la vue du dessus). En second lieu, la méthode fournit une première surface de réflexion qui va recevoir et réfléchir une seconde vue de l'embryon de plante (p. ex. la vue latérale) en direction de l'appareil photo. Ainsi, la méthode permet d'imager de manière simultanée la première et la seconde vue de l'embryon de plante. Dans une même conception, la méthode offre également une seconde surface de réflexion qui permet de recevoir et de réfléchir une troisième vue (p. ex. la vue de dos) de l'embryon en direction de l'appareil photo, de sorte que l'appareil puisse imager de manière simultanée les première, seconde et troisième vues de l'embryon. L'invention réduit le temps requis pour obtenir des vues multiples d'un embryon, qui peut alors être analysé aux fins de classification des embryons en fonction de la vigueur de sa germination.
